• Abstract: As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, it is increasingly capable of handling a wide range of video analytics tasks with merely one large model. One of the key foundation technologies is the Segment Anything Model (SAM), which allows the video analytics tasks to be determined on the fly according to the input prompts from the user. However, achieving real-time response in video analytics applications is crucial for user experiences due to the limited communication and computation resources on the edge, especially with SAM, where users may continuously interact by adding or adjusting prompts. In this paper, we propose SAMEdge, a novel edge-cloud computing architecture designed to support SAM computations for edge users. SAMEdge integrates new modules on the edge and the cloud to maximize analytics accuracy under visual prompts and image prompts input with latency constraints. It addresses resource challenges associated with prompt encoding and image encoding by offering a visual prompt transformation algorithm for visual prompts and efficient workload partitioning for image encoding. SAMEdge is implemented by extending the open-source SAM project from Meta AI. We demonstrate the practical application of SAMEdge through a case study on a Visual Tour Guide application. Our evaluation indicates that SAMEdge significantly enhances the accuracy of the video analytics application under distinct network bandwidths across various prompts.

  The Segment Anything Model (SAM) demonstrates exceptional generalization capabilities. SAM's lack of pretraining on massive remote sensing images and its interactive structure limit its automatic mask prediction capabilities. A Multi- cognitive SAM-Based Instance Model (MC-SAM SEG) is introduced to employ SAM on remote sensing domain. The proposed method named MC-SAM SEG extracts high-quality features by fine-tuning the SAM-Mona encoder along with a feature aggregator.
